The arrival of HCA’s StoneSprings Hospital in Dulles South was a game-changer for the hospital landscape in Loudoun County five years ago, and its new CEO thinks the next five could be just as impactful.
Nathan Vooys started his post as StoneSprings’ new CEO Nov. 1. He had already been a part of the HCA team for a number of years, most recently serving as CEO at HCA’s Terre Haute Regional Hospital in Indiana, and previous stops in executive or administrative roles in Florida and Georgia.
Vooys said the attraction to running the show at the 124-bed hospital, which celebrated its five-year anniversary Dec. 7, came down to the local market.
